Regular reminder that the large majority of development teams using AI coding tools are delivering less reliable software and taking longer to get it into production. That's the reality.

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

Just watched the video by @kevinpowell.co about AI impact on our jobs: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aW7... I feel like many of us might be having "AI burnout" - a new type of burnout that we in software industry didn't see before. The analogy of moving from hand-crafted to conveyor belts seems right.

And this bubble is adding to levels of inequality multiple times those seen before the French Revolution. How do you think an army of permanently discarded people will respond to that? People who are already angry at the world. So I'm not just saying: I'm a lefty and see a new source of tax: yay!

Just tax the compute. Datacentre? Cool. Fund your own power generation and water reservoirs, and then pay tax for every computational act your datacentre does. And we'll use the tax income to offset societal and job damage. Overnight, AI becomes something AI giants are desperate to restrict.

This is a choice made by our governments. Not one person needs to die trying to cross the Channel or entering the UK in any way. It is always a political choice to allow people to die, as a deterent to those desperate people behind them.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

When they say things like they expect there is a 10% chance that AI wipes out humanity in a decade, you should not take that as bullshit that undermines their seriousness; you should take that as them being very serious about a self-fulfilling prophecy they intend to enact if they have the chance.

It's a similar scenario to the Christian nationalists who think they're bringing about the Second Coming through fucking around in the Middle East.
